ISIS terrorists launched a string of terrorist attacks in multiple nations on June 25 and June 26, 2015 to murder Muslims, women, children, elderly, and tourists – in Syria, Kuwait, Tunisia, France, during the Islamic holiday of Ramadan. The vast majority of the 153 murdered in these ISIS terrorist attacks were Muslims. This is also the case in another 50 killed by ISIS ally Al-Shabab today, June 26. Combined, the ISIS terrorist and terrorist ally Al-Shabab attacks killed over 200, targeting mostly Muslims.

In Syria, the ISIS terror group killed at least 145 civilians in an attack on the Syrian town of Kobani and a nearby village on Thursday, June 25. Reuters reported the “attack on the predominantly Kurdish town of Kobani and the nearby village of Brakh Bootan marked the biggest single massacre of civilians by Islamic State in Syria since it killed hundreds of members of the Sunni Sheitaat tribe last year.” The gruesome images of Muslim children’s bodies destroyed into pieces and row after row of children’s bodies after the ISIS terror attack in Kobani is heart-rending.

YPG spokesman Rami Abdulrahman told Reuters 46 civilians had been killed. The YPG spokesman said at least 145 had died in the assault launched by a group of Islamic State fighters estimated to number in the dozens. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said an estimated 50,000 people had been displaced within Hasaka city while 10,000 had left northwards toward Amuda town, close to the Turkish border. It warned that up to 200,000 people could eventually flee.

In Kuwait, on June 26, ISIS terrorists bombed the the Shiite mosque of Al-Sadiq on the Muslim day of prayer, in the middle of Ramadan, the holiest month in Islam. The ISIS terror group claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing of the mosque. CCTV camera images showed the ISIS terrorist entering the mosque, during the Friday prayers, then using a cowardly suicide bomb to murder the unsuspecting Muslim worshippers. The gruesome photos of the killings in the mosque included young children who had gone for Ramadan prayers. The terrorist attack on Muslims left at least 8 dead, and many injured. The ISIS terrorist group bragged that it had killed and injured dozens in the attack on the Kuwait mosque. The Minister of Information and Minister of State for Youth Affairs Sheikh Salman Salem Al-Humoud Al-Sabah condemned the “cowardly terrorist act.”

In Tunisia, a reported ISIS terrorist attacked the Hotel Imperial Marhaba in Sousse, opening fire on beachgoers, and killing at least 39 people and injuring at least 39. At least five victims were British, according to the U.K. Foreign Office. An ISIS report stated that one of their terrorist used as a suicide bomb and that two of their terrorist members opened fire with guns on tourists at the beach resort.  One of the reported ISIS cowards gunning down people on the beach includes the now dead attacker named as Abu Yahya Al-Qayrawani (from Kairouan/Tunisia), who was shot by police during his rampage against helpless people.   One courageous man Matthew James was shot three times as he used his body as a human shield to protect his fiance.

In France’s Saint-Quentin-Fallavier (Isere region) near Grenoble, a terrorist sought to explode gas cylinders at an American gas products company, Air Products, and beheaded a man. The alleged killer has been arrested and named as Yassine Salhi, 30, with the victim believed to be his employer. The French victim’s (Hervé Cornara) body was mutilated, labeled with Arabic lettering, and staged with two Khilafah shahada Arabic flags next to his body (one black and one white) next to his body, with the victim’s head posted on a fence. FRANCE 24 and the NYT reported that Yassin Salhi was being monitored since 2006 due to his association with “very radical” extremist groups. Police authorities arrested a second individual (Frédéric Jean Salvi), said to be “close” to him and is reportedly a radical cleric sought by Indonesian authorities, and his wife was also questioned, but has since been released. The president of the company targeted in the attack, Air Products, is a Shia Iranian named Seifi Ghasemi. Authorities believe Salhi may have been influenced or connected to ISIS.

On Friday June 26, the ISIS ally of Al-Shabab killed 50 in Somalia, in an attack on an African Union base in military base in southern Somalia, with another 20 soldiers and 40 civilians missing and feared kidnapped for Al-Shabab’s slavery. This followed a June 24 attack by Al-Shabab on a UAE diplomatic convoy by a suicide bomber killing six Muslims.

Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) extends its prayers and sympathy to all those whose loved ones and lives were tragically impacted by such cowardly terrorist attacks.  These attacks demonstrate, once again, that the only real ideology such cowardly terrorists have is a commitment to the destruction of our universal shared human rights of freedom of religion, security, dignity, equality, and liberty.

These cowards who target those in prayer, those on the shore, and those simply going about the daily lives are not the “warriors” that claim to be.  They are sick, cowardly thugs who seek to snuff out the lives of children, women, elderly, and those who can’t defend themselves, because this is the only type of “fighting” capable by such cowards.  They rationalize their attacks on houses of worship, our children, mothers, and families as promoting an ideology, but the only ideology they have is cowardly hate.  We call for all those who glamorize such cowards to see them for who they really are in these attacks, mostly on Muslims, during Ramadan.

Responsible for Equality And Liberty is committed to our shared universal human rights, dignity, security for all people around the world, and in opposition to such criminal gangs who seek to rob us of our shared human rights.  We urge all people to defy such enemies of human rights, and to be responsible for equality and liberty.
